KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Deah Sir and Brother , —In the Magazine of the 30 th June you say , u We can novArhere find a satisfactory explanation of the word Herodem . '"
Permit " me to intimate Avhether it should not be spelled Herodom , " and be deriA ed from lepbgdofiog ' , signifying " sacred house , " or " sacrect temple . " I may uoav as . well make a remark on your article about Knights Templar , in your edition of the 26 th May . I do not think that the Knights of M ^ Jta were eA ^ er united ' with the Templars . You have , no doubt , difficulty in tracing the records of the Templars till the present day , and you may be right in complaining of the meagreness of the documents preserved .
Noav I think I have heard of some distinguished personage leaving England more than a century ago , settling somewhere in the south of Europe , and establishing a chapter founded upon records entrusted to , and in the possession of , that personage . However , it did not last long ; and the Inquisition again threatened the security of those sacred treasures , which had to make one or Iavo journeys more before they found a safe home . So , no doubt , the documents preserved in England may be meagre But Avhere are the more important ones ? I should not think that they arc lost . Enclosing my card , permit me to sign myself , Fraternally yours , A Subscriber .
